A Gazan woman, Marah Abu Zuhri, was flown to Italy for medical assistance but sadly died from malnutrition within two days of her arrival. The Italian government has been facilitating evacuations for children and adults facing severe health issues amid ongoing conflict. Reports indicate that over 180 evacuees have reached Italy since hostilities began, while British officials are working on plans to bring more vulnerable individuals to the UK. In the meantime, conditions in Gaza are deteriorating with widespread destruction and repeated airstrikes, raising concerns over a growing humanitarian crisis.
Israeli officials, however, contest claims of malnutrition, pointing to Hamas's responsibility. The humanitarian situation continues to evolve, as medical evacuations and international reactions mount in response to the ongoing conflict.
Marah Abu Zuhri, a 20-year-old woman from Gaza, tragically died from malnutrition just 48 hours after arriving in Italy for medical treatment. She was part of an evacuation effort organized by the Italian government, targeting those severely affected by the conflict. Despite her arrival at the University Hospital of Pisa, she suffered a cardiac arrest and could not withstand the toll of her severe emaciation.
Since the onset of Israel’s war on Gaza, over 180 individuals, including children, have been evacuated to Italy for urgent medical care. This week alone, 31 patients and their companions arrived in cities like Rome, Milan, and Pisa due to serious health conditions exacerbated by the conflict. In the UK, calls are being made for the government to expedite the evacuation of sick children from Gaza, following a promise by the British Prime Minister.
As the situation escalates in Gaza, with Israeli forces announcing plans to relocate residents and provide emergency supplies, the health ministry in Gaza reports that at least 36 individuals were killed in an recent airstrike. The toll of hunger-related deaths has also been increasing, raising grave concerns about malnutrition — a claim disputed by Israeli authorities, who assert that they do not target civilians and attribute the humanitarian crisis to Hamas’s actions. The number of casualties since the conflict began has surpassed 60,000, as the region grapples with an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
